You say always like it's the natural choice in every game? I can only attest from what I saw in the games I have been in. We had min-maxers play a vow of poverty monk, a grappling monk, and a fighter, in different games. Never a single-classed wizard. We *had* a single classed wizard....but...

I would agree with this statement. Banshee

I'd never predict that such an event would kill every human. I think however, that civilization as we know it would change significantly....and populations might be severely curtailed. But even if 99% of humans were killed, that still leaves 70 million....more than enough to continue the...

The history. There are like 36,000 years of written history. That's pretty cool. The magic. It's an odd mix of the medieval feel, with characters getting a chance to learn some cool spells and a real emphasis on the whole teacher/student thing. It's big. There's something for everyone...

I guess my players just weren't competent, because they definitely didn't use the exact tactics you have mentioned. None of this was a problem, as they used different selections of spells. Reading these boards some days, it seems there is a segment of players who spend their time reading up on...

Hmm...Shapechange....yes.....well, whether or not it was the ultimate spell of doom depended (IMO) upon which of the 30 versions of it WotC errata'd over the life of 3E. In some instances it was worse or better than others. Personally, a simple fix I implemented was ruling that my players...

Yes, I'm familiar with that. What I was asking was simply about the straight facts of whether particular areas would experience flooding. Like, if an inland city, 3000km from the ocean, but on the side of a river, and hence only 60m above sea level would itself be 20m under water if the sea...

I think you're talking about a different game paradigm. You keep referring to Wizards as unkillable. Unless you're using supplemental material that goes far beyond the core, then, no, they're not. Stoneskin, Repulsion, Globe of Invulnerability, Haste, Greater Invisibility. None of these are...

Are there any effects for using a spell to blast a door off its hinges, or knock a hole in a stone wall? I'm not talking about a magical door or enchanted wall. I'm just basically talking about the whole kind of incidence in fantasy novels where a spellcaster casts a spell, and a door is blown...

Why the antagonism? I'm a GM, and I don't mind the book. If something becomes a problem, Rule 0. In the meantime, having one book with all the 3.5 spells in it, so I don't need to search through or bring 15 different books just to have the spells at hand is, IMO, very helpful as a GM. Funny...

I actually didn't mind the Tome of Battle. It was a cool, alternate way to have warriors with "powers". I only really liked the ones that were less obviously magical. Like, I don't mind the powers that might give a big bonus on damage as a result of it being a "concentrated attack" or...

Given that the Adventure Paths make excellent use of non-PF 3.x content, I don't see why not. It's not like PF is restricted to only PF content for adventures, so why should players be restricted? As with all stuff in earlier versions of 3.x, handle with care. The DM has the say in the end as...

That's an excellent point. The book Pillars of the Earth is a real eye opener, with respect to showing some of nitty gritty of what life was/may have been like. And the differences in psychology between people now and then were likely very significant....much moreso than gender. The culture...

I'm surprised the whole "working out psychological issues" thing even comes out. Players don't need to be playing characters of the other gender to work out psychological issues. I've had lots of players with whom it was quite obvious they were working out something. Whether it's being an...

Most excellent. I'm looking forward to the series finally drawing to a close....I know there's one more book, but we're almost there. And hopefully we get to see Rand in a little more central role again. Without him being a multiple personality, psychopathic madman with world shaking power...

The way that 360 live works just makes sense to me. Now....I don't know if that's simply because I'm used to it....but having one environment that everyone is in, one set of chat software, and being able to talk to friends inside and outside of games...these things are all super useful. Maybe...

OK, so I'm not insane, or "missing something" with respect to the impression I've been getting of the differences between the two systems. I have seen PS3 users claiming the online abilities of the PS3 were far better than the XBox........but now that I've used both, I couldn't agree. I think...

Yes, I know :) I think I meant more that it's not like those places would be underwater. The environmental effects would be catastrophic (for current life forms). To be clear....life has existed on earth in times when water levels were much higher than they are now........*and* much lower...

Cool link! Looks like Montreal might get rather wet....but it's difficult to tell, because the map only shows Canada in the version that shows the whole world. Looks like the St. Lawrence would get wider.....so I'm assuming Montreal, Kingston, Vancouver, and maybe even Toronto might have...
